HP’s New Voice-Controlled Printer Is Designed to Work With Your Phone

We thought we were past the point where we needed a printer at home, but we’re going to make an exception for the new HP Tango Smart Home Printer. The biggest selling point is that it’s designed to work with your smartphone and your smart home for simple wireless printing. Need a copy of your calendar? Alexa can print it for you when you ask. Want to print some quick pics you just snapped instead of busting out your instant camera? Do it right from the app. You can even print photos and documents from the cloud or the local coffee shop and have them ready to go whenever you want them. Everything is controlled by the app—which also lets you scan documents in case you need to duplicate something—making it easier to setup than most of the other printers on the market. You can even print 5×7″ photos for free if you sign up for one of HP’s Instant Ink plans to keep your reserves topped up.
